Chapter 213: Rumors start
The disciples of the Qingshan faction are only responsible for the reception work, and the content does not include answering the questions of the contestants. After finishing this, they leave, leaving the six contestants to look at each other on the spot, feeling that the danger of this incident may be higher than expected. .
Qu Wuhua considered himself to be the one with the lowest cultivation level among the six. In this situation, he could not help looking at the thickest golden thigh: "Yun Shao, let's go together?"
Luo Xunlu: "It's the same woman, bring me one."
In the final, there are six teams of three women and three men, and they are divided into half. Hui Xin, Dong Jianbai, and Fang Youde have no opinion.
The competition is based on its own ability, as long as it can be won in the end, it can be done by a single person or a team.
The six of them separated at the entrance of the hotel. Huixin and the others were facing west, while Su Yunshao and the others were facing east. They were not walking very fast, as if they had not found a clue to solve the incident.
Qu Wuhua said as he walked, "Yun Shao, let's exchange information first?"
Su Yunshao didn't know much, so he said what Gao Ran told her, "I suspect it is an illusion."
Only by falling into an illusion can people be so convinced of what they have seen and heard without actually taking in any food and nutrition.
This was also confirmed by the seal of Taoyao, the illusion weaver.
Taoyao's original words were: "With my current ability, it's a bit difficult to trap twenty-eight people in a fantasy world for five days and five nights. I have to weave the fantasy world very finely and make every detail stand up to scrutiny. It's even more difficult. The enemy is very powerful, Su Yunshao, you have to be careful."
Luo Xunlu: "I asked Uncle Hengshu about this, and Uncle said that there are thousands of illusion formations in the world. As long as you stick to your heart, you will not be easily confused by the sights presented by the illusion formation. The person who maintains the magic formation can break out. It is a little difficult for people in Xuanmen to get out of the formation, and it is difficult for ordinary people to come out on their own."
So how did the group of ordinary people get out of the magic array for five days and five nights?
Is it because the people who opened the magic circle have already got what they want from that group of people, or are the people who maintain the magic circle not strong enough to hold on and have to let them out?
Or maybe, the other party didn't want to hurt people's lives, so they sent people out before the group of people were about to die of hunger and thirst.
Qu Wuhua: "Because of this, I suspect that the rumors of the Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night on Baimei Mountain may also be caused by the Illusion Formation. Otherwise, there is no reason for so many ghosts that are powerful enough to appear in front of ordinary people."
Just what is the purpose of the other party doing this, it is very intriguing.
After all, letting ordinary people see Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night is only able to create some panic, and cannot obtain practical benefits.
Some neurotic young people may also think that it is a realistic cos, and jokingly ran to the ghost to shake hands and ask for a photo for the tutorial, but it scared the ghost.
Su Yunshao suggested: "I want to collect some eyewitness intelligence, why don't we act separately?"
Qu Wuhua: "Okay."
Luo Xunlu: "Meet at the door of the hotel in three hours."
The three of them acted separately to find out information, and the three of them on Huixin's side also acted separately, which is more efficient.
There is Huixin to help and guide the Gu Zhuang all the way, and avoid many detours. The information on the Baimeishan incident is pitiful, and it is necessary to spend a lot of time and energy to search and filter useful information.
Su Yunshao tapped the bracelet: "Sisters, come out and help?"
Ruan Mei: "It's easy to talk."
Shan'er: "Okay."
Calyx: "No problem."
The three of them didn't want to disturb ordinary people, so they could only go to the corner to listen, and eavesdrop when others were chatting.
And Su Yunshao pinched his fingers twice, looked up at the sky, confirmed the direction, and walked towards a pork belly hot pot restaurant on the side of the road.
Everyone watching the live broadcast: "…"
For a while, it was impossible to determine whether Su Yunshao was hungry. He wanted to go to the temple for a hot pot sacrifice, or if he really figured out what to go there to ask for information.
Su Yunshao entered the hot pot restaurant as usual. A handsome little brother who was about 1.9 meters tall took advantage of his long legs and rushed over to serve her in front of the other people in three or two steps.
"Miss alone?"
"Um."
"Let's choose a soup base first. The most popular ones in our store are mushroom soup and mandarin duck soup. The mandarin duck soup is medium spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, I suggest you choose mushroom soup."
"Then mushroom soup."
The little brother pointed to the QR code beside the table: "Scan the code to order."
Su Yunshao, who just handed in his mobile phone: "..."
Everyone watching the live broadcast: "…"
To be honest, they didn't expect the contestants to eat hot pot in less than ten minutes after arriving at the finals.
"Sorry, I didn't bring my mobile phone." Su Yunshao didn't change his face, "Can you give me a paper menu? Or just order a few of the store's signature dishes."
The little brother was stunned for a moment, took out his mobile phone from the apron, lowered his head to scan the code, and then handed it over: "I borrow mine for you."
Su Yunshao clicked on the signboard, ordered a few random items, balanced meat and vegetables, and ordered another drink.
"That's all for now, thank you."
"You're welcome." The little brother put away his phone, "Miss, you can call me again if you need it."
Su Yunshao nodded and sat quietly by the window. He didn't go to the bar to choose condiments or pick up fruits. It was as if he just came in and sat down. He was completely different from the people at other tables who were busy eating hot pot or chatting on their mobile phones. different.
After a while, the little brother who just left came back with two plates of cut fruits and a prepared hot pot ingredients.
"I adjusted it according to the taste of most people who don't eat spicy food. If you don't like it, you can adjust it yourself."
Su Yunshao: "Thank you."
The business in the store is good, and the food is served very fast.
Su Yunshao didn't eat a single bite, just sat there, watching the scenery outside.
The judges didn't understand what she was doing, so go eat hot pot when you're hungry, right? Nothing moved. Are you not hungry? Why did she enter the hot pot restaurant?
Brother Qingxiu came again, this time he no longer stood at the table, but sat down opposite Su Yunshao.
"Young lady ordered so much, why don't you eat a little bit? It's not good to waste food by advocating the CD-ROM campaign now."
Su Yunshao turned to look at him and said blankly, "I didn't bring any money."
The little brother's smile froze. He thought you were in a bad mood and suffered from depression, but you are depressed here just because you don't want to eat Bawang's meal?
The judges watching the live broadcast also froze.
The organizer did take away the players' mobile phones in order to prevent cheating and ask for help outside the venue, but why was Su Yunshao so stupid that he didn't carry any cash with him? You can also bring a card.
Gao Ran had a lot of top-quality talismans drawn by Su Yunshao on his body, and he really couldn't bear to watch the dignified Xuanmen boss get kicked out of the hot pot restaurant for eating Bawang's meal.
"Sect Master Heng, can you ask a disciple to pay her money? I'll help her pay it back."
Hengping: "...Okay."
He hurriedly called to inform the disciples who stayed on the Baimei Mountain.
At this time, the handsome little brother spoke.
"Miss, you didn't bring your mobile phone and money to eat Bawang's meal on purpose? Then put the two bracelets on your hand here, and take them back when you get the money back."
Su Yunshao raised his left wrist, and the sleeve of his long coat fell down, revealing a gold-silver python-patterned bracelet on his wrist, "Do you want this?"
"Where do I want it?" The little brother smiled and put two pieces of cantaloupe into his mouth, stuffing his cheeks, "It's not that you don't have the money to pay the bill, am I kind enough to give you an idea? But if you don't If you get the money and redeem it, I can help you pay the bill, so the bracelet should be mine."
Su Yunshao tilted his head: "Do you want to buy two fairies for less than two hundred?"
"Clap", the cantaloupe fell off the little brother's fork.
Judges: ? ? ?
Are you just talking about a goblin to an ordinary person? Wait, this waiter seems to be...
The little brother put away his smile: "You know it's a demon?"
"Otherwise?" Su Yunshao patted Yunxiao Yunting's head and motioned them to stop worrying, "In my understanding, snakes eat mice, this is the first time I've seen a mouse that wants to eat snakes."
"Don't be a mouse and a mouse, they are cute and lovely hamsters, right?!" The little brother puffed up the cantaloupe angrily, stuffing his mouth full, and he really looked like a hamster when he was eating.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"
Su Yunshao: "I want to ask you something."
The little brother said "yoha", "Can't you see? You actually know my name Baixiaoshu."
Hearing that he was begging for himself, he immediately stood up and threw all the food on the table into the pot to cook, "I can ask for news, can you afford the price?"
Su Yunshao: "You ask for a price, and the Qingshan faction will pay."
Hengping, the head of the Qingshan faction: ? ? ?
Qingshan Sect Elder Hengshu: ? ? ?
Qi Honglian never felt that her laughter was low, but this sentence really hit her laughter: "Good job, more points!"
The audience watching the live broadcast and the judges did not understand why Su Yunshao said this.
At the other end, the little brother glanced at the camera and microphone attached to Su Yunshao's neckline, and immediately understood: "You participated in the Xuanmen Grand Competition held by the Qingshan faction this year? come."
So much information can be judged from the three words "Qingshan faction", and everyone knows that Su Yunshao has indeed found a well-informed person... No, hamster demon.
In other words, can a species like a hamster with a lifespan of only two or three years become a demon?
The little brother enjoyed the meal, "You want me to ask the Xuanmen Dabi sponsor, Gu's Group, for an account. I still have some clues in my heart, the Qingshan faction? They can't afford this price."
Hengping, the head of the Qingshan faction: "..."
Qingshan Sect Elder Hengshu: "..."
Su Yunshao just wanted to let Bai Xiaoshu know about the Xuanmen Grand Competition through the name of the Qingshan faction, but he didn't really plan to let the Qingshan faction pay for it.
"It doesn't matter, you make an offer, and I'll find the equivalent for you."
The little brother laughed: "Sincerely benefits ten million."
When Su Yunshao knew Bai Xiaoshu in his previous life, this fellow was an eye-opener when he saw treasure, but he didn't expect that he was an eye-opener when he saw money.
She took out a bunch of talismans from her bag and threw them on the table, "Get it yourself."
The little brother put the messy talismans together into a stack, and swiped them with the gesture of a bank teller counting money, and the speed was quite fast.
After ordering the pile, he was so addicted that he took out all the twenty golden bell charms inside, and returned all the others.
"So I started?"
"Well." Su Yunshao stuffed the rest back into the bag.
Little brother: "This thing first came out of a boy with yin and yang eyes..."
The earliest rumors of Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night can be traced back to the Dragon Boat Festival this year. That night, the ghost gates of the underworld opened wide, and countless unreincarnated ghosts came to the world through the open ghost gates.
This is a rare time of year to let out the air, and most of the ghosts will choose to come out to breathe and see the changes in the world and their families.
They keep in mind the principle of not harassing the world and human beings, plus the time to open the gate of **** is twelve o'clock, so the possibility of encountering strangers is not very high.
Unfortunately, the world was also on holiday on the Dragon Boat Festival, and the boy's parents took him to visit Baimei Mountain.
In normal times, parents would urge their sons to rest early, and it would be different if they rarely came out to play.
Under the influence of fatigue and excitement, it was difficult for the boy to fall asleep, so he just lay on the balcony of the hotel and watched the scenery.
A large number of ghosts come to the world from the underworld. The stronger ones will clean up themselves and make themselves look like normal people when they are alive. The weaker ones will maintain the appearance of death. Holding his lost head, he walked carelessly on the street.
The boy was frightened and screamed for his parents to come and see.
But the parents couldn't see everything the boy described, thinking that he was dazzling or talking nonsense, and just urged the boy to go to bed early, and didn't take it to heart.
Seeing something like that, the boy didn't dare to stay outside anymore, and hurriedly went back to sleep with his parents. But when he saw the ghosts walking at night, his reaction was too great, and he had already attracted the attention of the ghosts.
The evil-hearted and curious ghost crawled along the outer wall of the hotel and got into the room to find him, "Child, can you see me?"
The boy shivered with fright, and closed his eyes tightly as if he didn't hear.
"It's useless to pretend to be asleep, I can see your eyes are rolling."
"Children who don't answer are not good."
"How do I want to punish you?"
"I'll punish you not to open your eyes again in this life."
The boy suddenly opened his eyes and saw the four ghosts in front of him.
They are the female ghost who jumped off the building and broke down, the male ghost who had his head cut off, the pregnant ghost who died in childbirth, and the pale ghost who died of illness.
In addition to the four of them, there were other ghosts crawling into the hotel room. There were scary-looking ghosts everywhere on the windows and walls, and everyone looked at him and smiled at him.
The boy was frightened and cried: "don't come here woo woo woo..."
In the early morning, the boy developed a high fever and was taken to the hospital by his parents.
After hanging up for two days, the boy got better. When he woke up, he told everyone what he saw that night, but no one believed him.
"That little boy has a very strong self-esteem, and he was sullen when everyone didn't believe what he said, and he refused to talk about it later. I also went to the hospital to visit a friend by chance and saw him sitting in the hospital garden, sulking, and talked to him. just know."
The little brother gulped down a big glass of drink, called the passing waiter for another bottle, and then continued, "Do you think he is born with yin and yang eyes? No, he just went to Baimei Mountain and saw it when he came back. ."
This statement is very strange.
In Su Yunshao's cognition, Yin-Yang eyes are either innate, or they are opened by fate like Zhuo Jinglun, and there are Yin-Yang eyes in a place..."Unheard of."
Everyone watching the live broadcast nodded, but they had never heard of it.
The little brother had a mysterious expression on his face, "But the most interesting point is not here, do you know what it is?"
Su Yunshao looked at him quietly, with a calm tone: "What?"
Seeing that her emotions were not aroused at all, the little brother pouted boringly and stopped talking, "That little boy can't see ghosts anymore."
Su Yunshao: ? ? ?
"The time-limited yin and yang eyes, did they meet the talisman that opened the temporary yin and yang eyes?"
"No no no." The little brother shook his finger, "He's not sure when he started to see the ghost, but he was able to see him after twelve o'clock on the Dragon Boat Festival. He lay in a coma with high fever for two days in the hospital, and the third day He explained to people that he had seen a ghost, and he couldn’t see it on the fourth day, almost doubting whether he was dreaming, such a long time is not something that a temporary Yin-Yang Eye Talisman can do.”
When all the people around you tell you "that's fake", "that's not real" and "you're dreaming", over time, you yourself will go from firmness to self-doubt.
When the boy can no longer see those ghosts, and he has no evidence to prove the real existence of the ghosts, just relying on his description and memory, I doubt whether I have dreams and fantasies caused by watching too many horror movies on weekdays.
Su Yunshao: "Since you bring this up and say it, it means it's true."
"I have seen him, and he smells of many ghosts. He has indeed seen ghosts, and he can't see ghosts again. This matter is very strange, so I deliberately collected information on this aspect, and later I found out that several people went to the same place. After crossing Baimei Mountain, the same child who sees ghosts and suddenly can't see ghosts."
"All children?"
"Yes, they are all children above the age of five but below the age of nine." The younger brother said more important news, "And, as far as I know, those children with such special experiences have all died."
Su Yunshao's back became straighter: "How did you die? Do you have any specific information?"
The little brother opened his palms, and Su Yunshao took out a few thunder talismans from the bag and patted them on his hands, "Continue."
"Thank you for your patronage." The little brother stuffed the thunderbolt into the pocket behind his butt, and took out a small notebook from the pocket that looked small, flipped through it twice, and then used his mobile phone to find the few Take a photo of the child and turn over one to give the corresponding name and birth date.
Su Yunshao had seen the photos and counted his birthday: "It's true that he died."
Also died very special - every child's birthday has water and yin in it.
This is definitely not a coincidence!
Moreover, this method of targeting the special birthday character, why does it sound like Mr. Gu's handwriting?
and many more!
Su Yunshao pulled the phone and looked through the picture of the little boy who was in **** on the Dragon Boat Festival, "Is he the beginning of the incident?"
The little brother glanced at it: "It's him, why, do you need more specific information? That's another price."
"No." Su Yunshao shook his head, without saying anything on his face, he just shouted coincidence in his heart.
Is it a coincidence?
This person is exactly the little boy Qin Shuo told her to count who died in the land of water, soil, and gold. I don't know if the body and ghost have been found.
